The program is possible thanks to the generosity of First Electric members who enrolled in Operation Round-Up and agree to have their electric bill rounded up to the next even dollar amount each month. That money – more than $608,000 since 1998 – funds nonprofit donations and student scholarships. To sign up, visit www.firstelectric.coop or call 800-489-7405.
